Robert Spencer: Whatever else Old Joe Biden may be, in his dotage, he sure has become a whiner. At the House Democratic Caucus Issues Conference on Friday, Biden lost his temper, shouting that he was “sick of this stuff,” that is, Americans blaming him for the inflation that his far-Left policies have caused. That wasn’t all that the ostensible president was enraged about, however; in the same speech, he fumed that Americans just didn’t understand the great job that he’s doing. Biden opened this particular gambit with a full-on threat: “I’m not saying we’re over; we’re just gett... read more

Will Hillary get away with her role in Russian collusion scam?
Washington Examiner: Hillary Clinton appears to be off the hook in terms of special counsel John Durham's criminal inquiry, according to one House Judiciary Committee Republican. In the view of Rep. Darrell Issa, the politically charged review into the origins and conduct of the Russia investigation has taken too long for there to be full accountability. He specifically name-dropped Clinton, whose 2016 presidential campaign and lawyers helped foster the specter of collusion between her rival, former President Donald Trump, and the Kremlin, as evidence has shown in the years of i... read more
Propaganda Fail – Former Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, Explains Why Putin Is Worse Than Hitler
The far-left can always be guaranteed to go moonbat crazy when they enter the leftist echo chamber of media. Former Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, did that and more when he made some bizarre comparative statements about Hitler and current Russian President Vladimir Putin. In a factually false statement, McFaul claimed that Adolf Hitler never […] The post Propaganda Fail – Former Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, Explains Why Putin Is Worse Than Hitler appeared first on The Last Refuge. read more

On A Knife’s Edge In Ukraine
The choice is stark for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: accept that his defeat is inevitable and accept Russian terms for surrender or continue to seek a way for NATO to become perilously involved in his fight against Moscow. Russia is making three demands of Kiev to end the war on its terms: recognize Crimea as part of Russia; grant independence to Lugansk and Donetsk in the Donbass and enshrine Ukraine as a neutral state in its constitution, meaning it will never join NATO. A 90-minute meeting in Turkey on Thursday between the Russian and Ukrainian foreign ministers res... read more
Russia, Ukraine, And The Race Problem
Russia has been the subject of intense outrage in the West following its decision to wage a military offensive against Ukraine. The military operation caught many by surprise. While the Western foreign policy establishment exploited the development as a “told you so” moment, the general public was thrown into a state of utter confusion. A particularly comforting explanation for the conflict has been a singular and decontextualized “Russian aggression.” At the heart of the confusion and outrage is a tidal wave of chauvinism that has come crashing from all sides of the Western polit... read more

FL: Gov Appoints MAGA Q Fan To State Board of Education
It is just always something in Florida. Gov. Ron DeSantis just appointed Esther Byrd to fill a seat on the state board of education. Byrd has a bit of a track record, as reported by Florida Politics. Byrd's husband is Rep. Cord Byrd, who has, among other things, had an explosion of temper against Black protestors. Esther Byrd made an attempt to get onto the Neptune Beach city council, but was defeated by the incumbent 1,041 to 869. She's a former marine. And she's MAGA, offering some spirited defense of Trump, the January 6 Insurrection, and well--here's a sample of some Facebook... read more

Global South Rejects US/NATO Aggression
As the U.S. and NATO work to advance their war against Russia now breaking out in Ukraine, many countries who have experienced imperialist aggression — by the U.S., France, Britain and other NATO members — are speaking out.

Lula Gains Access To US/Lava Jato Partnership Information
This week Brazil’s Superior Justice Court ordered the Justice Ministry to grant former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and his defense team access to previously sealed information on the existence of partnerships between the US Department of Justice and the Lava Jato investigation task force.

Minneapolis, MN – The Minneapolis Federation of Teachers (MFT) strike entered its fourth day on Thursday March 11 as Minneapolis Public Schools remained closed.

The Minneapolis teachers’ strike kicked off this week with a huge turnout. Over 4,000 teachers and Educational Support Professionals (ESPs) are on strike for the first time in 50 years.

Investors Are Reevaluating The Mountain Valley Pipeline
During a recent hearing about the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC’s) policy statements about fracked gas certificates, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, the chair of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, defended the MVP. Manchin claimed the pipeline is 95 percent completed, but opponents cite the company’s own reports, which indicate “final restoration of the pipeline right-of-way is now about 55% complete.” Moreover, two recent federal court rulings have thrown out key MVP permits, as three more federal agencies have been sent back to the drawing bo... read more
#SKNDPLDR 2022 Overview - No Certainty, or No Contest?
I've posted previously about the loss for party and province that is Ryan Meili's resignation from the leadership of Saskatchewan's NDP. And as I'll discuss in this and posts to come, that factor will cast a long shadow over the new leadership campaign and beyond. But with Meili stepping down - and with multiple top-tier candidates having ruled out runs or even declined movements to draft them into the race - the main question now is whether the leadership will be contested seriously (or at all). Anybody else considering entering the race will need to have a plan to compete again... read more

Note on Everyday Digital Internationalism
*Are younger generations more pacifistic than older people? Commonsense, as well as evidence would say yes. As discussed plenty of times on this blog, the turn away from social and political conservatism by young people isn't a consequence of "being young" and full of idealism. It's part caused by right wingers of all stripes repeatedly pushing policies that harm their interests, a culture where struggles against inequalities and prejudice have made enormous advances in the last 50 years, and the decades-long reorientation of work around immaterial labour.
